A Second Marriage and a Better Match in the 1970S

Su Hehe really has had the worst luck. She followed her mother into a wealthy family as an unwanted stepchild for eighteen years, and just when she thought she was finally in the clear, she transmigrated. Her mother died, her father remarried. Fine, that could happen. But why did she, a woman who'd never even dated, end up divorced and abandoned? What the heck! To make matters worse, her stepmother thought she was an eyesore and went around looking for widowers to marry her off to. Luckily, her maternal aunt, who had married into an army compound, came to her rescue. Su Hehe moved in with her aunt as a relative and part-time housekeeper. Captain Zhong was sharp-tongued and arrogant, the army compound's top choice for a son-in-law! Pretty young women of every sort asked her aunt to set them up with him. He would just say, “Not interested,” and send them away in tears. With Zhong's cold glare on her, Su Hehe happily watched him get dragged off to blind dates every few days. It was pure entertainment, and perfect for eating along with. Her aunt also wanted to find her niece a new husband. But though Su Hehe was beautiful, she was getting married for the second time. It wouldn't be easy! Her aunt was so worried she could cry. She had no idea that Zhong Zhan would soon corner Su Hehe and ask, “What, watching me make a fool of myself isn't fun enough? Now you want to marry someone else?” Su Hehe was baffled. “I didn't...” Zhong wouldn't take no for an answer. “Didn't what? How about you and I give it a try?” Su Hehe waved her hands frantically. “No, I could never aspire to someone like you...” Zhong turned on the charm. “Is it easy living under someone else's roof? Marry me, and I'll let you spend my whole salary, okay?” Su Hehe's eyes sparkled. She really wanted to keep living a life of shopping! One was picky and impatient, and wanted nothing more than a gentle, easygoing beauty who would let him sit back and enjoy having his clothes and meals brought to him. The other was sweet and charming, a master at sweet-talking people. She was sick of cooking every day and wanted money and a home of her own. A twice-married housekeeper had landed herself a high branch, leaving everyone stunned. Even her aunt didn't approve! The whole compound angrily predicted that the marriage would be over within a year! But... Could it be that the twice-married woman was actually a brilliant talent? She was even invited to work as an instructor? Captain Zhong was so smitten he couldn't see straight! He did the laundry! He cooked! He even took care of the kids! Watching Instructor Su breeze through her work as her career soared... Sigh! Some people just can't compare. Let's call it quits! [Reader's Guide: A sweet story about falling in love after marriage.
